Hi, I need to replace one rotten wooden beam on my outdoor deck. The Beams are 1-1/5, by 5-1/5 by length that is much longer than my car. There is a lowes and home depot in my town but I prefer to order online and have it delivered.. has anyone had any luck ordering a piece of lumber online, i have never done it before. How about amazon? Thanks!


Call a local lumber yard. Not everything can be ordered on line. Use a
telephone or stop in and talk to a real person. If it has to be shipped
any distance it can add hundreds to the cost for a truck delivery.

When I hit "amazon", I figured he is a troll.

What's he going to do when he gets it? He doesn't sound like he has
the skills or tools to make use of a long 5/4 board.

I would like to listen in on his call to the lumber yard, though.
